Sweet November

Kalamay sa Latik and Guinatang Halo-Halo

We prepared thesefor merienda last Nov. 1 and 2. Now I realized that these are two of my Lola’s favorite local sweet fares. She’s got a mild stroke last Wednesday and I only learned about it last Saturday when I went home. It just happened. She’s one of the most active person around. She hates being idle: a trait which I think I got from her. We’re hopeful that with God’s grace, she will regain her usual energy and see her tend her garden and look after us.

 

First at Conti’s

I dragged (hehehe) Emmi and Genie along to attend the preview of the Mind Museum last Tuesday at the NBC Tent, Taguig. We arrived very early (because MO’s one of the exhibitors), so we decided to go check Serendra for a place to eat. Thanks for Genie for suggesting Conti’s. We all enjoyed what we ordered and promised to visit the one in Trinoma to buy some of their yummy pasties and of course their Bananalicious!!!

 

An account of a typhoon in 1935

We’re still on a state of shock after the typhoon caused a lot damages here in Metro Manila. What is very depressing is we actually know friends who were directly affected and needs a lot of help in order to recover.

I just want to share here a letter (transcript of the original letter) from our MO archives collection. This narrates how a typhoon affected some areas in Samar, a province south of the Philippines.
